Kell Brook tells Jim White his return to welterweight means he will take on Errol Spence in May at his natural weight

Kell Brook interrupted his preparations for Errol Spence Jr to speak to Sky Sports News HQ on the day thousands bought tickets for their May 27 fight.

The first day of general sale for the welterweight world title contest at Bramall Lane saw 17,000 tickets sold as Brook's hometown supporters jumped at the chance to see their champion defend his IBF belt.

Brook is already in training for his fourth defence, live on Sky Sports Box Office, gradually easing his body back down to 147lbs having jumped two divisions to tackle middleweight king Gennady Golovkin.
